Feeling ripped off.
We had a mixed experience during our stay, making the most of our trip, but the overall situation left us quite frustrated. Firstly, an unexpected farm dog joined us, a detail not mentioned in the ad or confirmed by the owner beforehand. This posed a significant challenge as my wife and mother are uncomfortable around dogs due to past traumatic experiences. The lack of prior notice disrupted our plans, limiting us to the patio and impacting our overall enjoyment. Despite efforts to close off the patio, the dog roamed freely, leading to a traumatic incident with my nephew near the pool. The condition of the house was disappointing; filthy walls, doors, and windows covered in cobwebs and spiders. Cleaning became a necessity before we could even consider sitting down. The patio and barbecue were also dirty, requiring us to leave the house cleaner than we found it. While we understand it's a farm, the level of cleanliness fell short of our expectations given the amount we paid. Several amenities further added to our dissatisfaction. The pool table lacked usable cues, the dishwasher was non-functional, forcing us to clean by hand. The main TV didn't work, and we had to resort to connecting a Nintendo Switch for entertainment. Additionally, insufficient lighting, especially on the patio with the best view, limited our enjoyment during the evenings. In hindsight, we should have considered requesting a refund upon arrival due to the unexpected challenges and subpar conditions.

not impressed
What a lovely location, but the property is in need of a lot of repair. The place had not been cleaned after the last guests, trash and bottles still pilled on the deck. most of the outside lights do not work and some of the inside ones and it wouldn't hurt to label the switches so you know what switch is for what. The windows were filthy, some of the curtains don't work. If you are disabled don't bother, none of the bathrooms are wheelchair friendly. there was no sign of the coffee machine and the plates, glasses ect were all over the place. All of the beds need replacing and the sofas are worn out. As I said what a lovely location, wonderful views, spoiled by the untidy grounds, the outside decking is loose and dangerous.

Great stay for Christmas
This property is fantastic, we had 8 friends stay over Christmas and the house was perfect for a group in need of pool time and hanging out. The house has all the basics you need, and is well set up for larger groups. We loved using the pizza oven, bbq, large dinner tables and pool. The property is in easy reach of activities if you want to venture out to explore. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend.

Wish I could give 6 stars
Had a fantastic long weekend with family and friends at the property. So many special memories! The kids loved exploring the surrounding, the playground, the alpacas, making pizzas, and even braved in the pool. Amazing views, and having a cellar door downstairs made the whole experience even more special. Margot and Ian were wonderful hosts. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back!

Overall dissapointed, would not come back.
We got to the house, after Margot gave us a tour we realised the house wasn’t in the cleanest condition. Our privacy was also very much so invaded with them having wine tasting in our backyard where we couldn’t even use the pizza oven till late. The house itself and location very nice however would not consider coming back to this place.

Sharing the beauty of our farm with wonderful guests like you is one of our greatest joys. We’re passionate about sustainability and are constantly expanding our family of farm animals—not only to help maintain the property but also to bring us plenty of love and entertainment along the way!

We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we enjoy sharing this special place with you.
